sdsdfbsfsd Posted June 11, 2019 #1 Posted June 11, 2019 Litecoin rose above $125 today, hitting its highest in more than a year as the digital currency benefited from several tailwinds. The altcoin (cryptocurrency other than bitcoin) reached as much as $128.25, up more than 10% for the day, CoinMarketCap figures show. At this point, the digital asset was trading at its loftiest level since May 2018, additional CoinMarketCap data reveals. When explaining this latest rally, analysts pointed to several variables, including litecoin's upcoming halving and the strength the digital currency has shown over the last several months. [Ed note: Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is highly speculative and the market is largely unregulated. Anyone considering it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.] Litecoin Halving Several market observers emphasized the key importance of litecoin's halving, which will reduce the digital currency's mining incentive by 50%, as a major factor driving these gains. This event, which is scheduled to take place in August, will cut litecoin's rate of new supply in half. Charles Hayter, cofounder and CEO of digital currency data platform CryptoCompare, spoke to this development, stating that: YOU MAY ALSO LIKE "The halving is acting as a price catalyst." Joe DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency fund of hedge funds BitBull Capital, offered a similar point of view, claiming that: "Litecoin's resilience and the recent surge are attributable to the upcoming halving." Litecoin A 'Market Leader' Some analysts took a different tack, focusing on how well litecoin prices have performed over the last several months. The digital currency has climbed more than 400% since December, when its price fell to less than $23, CoinMarketCap figures show. "Litecoin has been a leader throughout this recent bullrun," said Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst for social trading platform eToro. "It is one of the most well established coins in the crypto market and has very strong fundamentals," he added. "Litecoin has consistently been a market leader since the crypto market hit bear market lows in late 2018," said Jon Pearlstone, publisher of the newsletter CryptoPatterns. As a result, the altcoin's "breaking out" "above recent highs before Bitcoin and other large altcoins is consistent with prior bull moves." Next Price Targets Following litecoin's recent gains, a handful of technical analysts weighed in on what's next for the altcoin. "Breaking the $120 price level was crucial for Litecoin since it had failed to surpass that resistance twice recently," said DiPasquale. "Now, with LTC trading around $125, we can expect a steady rise towards $150 with some normal pullbacks along the way, provided Bitcoin remains between the $7,600 - $8,000 range at the very least," he stated. DiPasquale was not the only one to highlight the relationship between bitcoin and its digital sibling. Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Erik Finman claimed that the biggest cause of litecoin's recent gains was "Bitcoin’s rise with anticipation of a Bull Run happening this year." Going forward, the digital currency faces "significant resistance from $130-$150," said Pearlstone. As a result, he claimed that "The next leg up for Litecoin" will have "far more meaning from a technical standpoint to determine longer-range targets." woot go ltc
barbaris Posted June 11, 2019 #2 Posted June 11, 2019 This is good news. But the price of Ltc is still dependent on Bitcoin and if Bitcoin continues to grow, then Ltc is also waiting for an increase in value.

rararararay08 Posted June 12, 2019 #4 Posted June 12, 2019 LTC is now growing but it always depend on the current price of BTC
cointikka Posted June 12, 2019 #5 Posted June 12, 2019 If you have spare money, then this is right time to enter the crypto market. As always the best coin to invest is Bitcoin. But, if you have a small balance and still want to grab 2x or 3x profit then my recommendation will be Litecoin and Binance coin. P.S - Always do your own research before investment.
Kate Posted June 15, 2019 #6 Posted June 15, 2019 That is a good news to hear even though bitcoin had a drop to 7600 USD litecoin maintained is price and support so that is a good news to heart. Go ltc.

Still since his feedback is so good, people tend to trade between these top coins where litecoin belongs. Therefore it means litecoin will continue to build up a brighter future.
stakebeater2 Posted June 17, 2019 #9 Posted June 17, 2019 I never regret, of all the coins..I choose LTC hodl. And im not selling til my desirable target hits. 😊 Gonna be a good yeae for me
nuuuitsjdragon Posted June 17, 2019 #10 Posted June 17, 2019 I had no inkling that Litecoin would one day be so close to ETH in price! Hmm... but LTC was created for “Lite” payments isn’t it... does that cause a situation whereby the price cannot rise past a certain % of BTC - regardless of halving?
HumberRolls Posted June 21, 2019 #12 Posted June 21, 2019 good news and excellent information on the price of ltc, soon recover its price

Not just this for its build up lately in price and exposure of it being a good altcoin to invest in. But because of the halving happening very soon in less than a month and two weeks time. So its value will continue to rise as more and more people are accumulating it so to build up their portfolio and get ready for this event.
